Sneaker Con co-founder Alan – Y02E27
from SneakerDads Hosted by Jon Ratner
From his youth in Brooklyn hunting for Barkleys and other coveted sneakers on Fulton Street and elsewhere, to selling baseball cards on eBay, and eventually making frequent trips to Japan, Alan, the co-founder of Sneaker Con @sneakercon, seemed destined to be in the business. On the latest episode of SneakerDads, he talks about what he found in Japan, organizing early sneaker events in New York, and how an eBay posting led to the creation of Sneaker Con. Alan also discusses why he values historically significant pairs as well as those with personal meaning, the importance of House of Hoops Harlem and hunting for PEs, the “Concord Moment” when sneakers and social media collided, some of his recent pickups, and how he ended up at Supreme on the first date with his wife.
